Civil Engineering Program (Major)

What is civil engineering?

Civil engineering is a discipline that deals with the design, construction
and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. It includes
works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. It is one of the
oldest engineering disciplines. It is traditionally broken into several
sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering,
structural engineering, and, transportation engineering.

Why study civil engineering at Saint Martin's?

The Hal and Inge Marcus School of Engineering is housed in Cebula Hall (built
